Re: cperl mode font-lock problems
yeah, but cperl tries to have a different syntax table inside of strings, where
$ is not a backslash character.
if you're feeling clever, perhaps you could fix font lock so it can allow for a
different syntax table in strings?

This is because cperl mode defines $ to be an "escape" character, just
like backslash.
It actually has to do that, so that stuff like
$[ = 10;
or
$' = whatever;
work out right. Perl is truly convoluted.
